Bénabar

Bénabar arrives at the Théâtre de Yerres in Yerres on March 20, 2027 with his song-based chronicles that have shaped his trajectory since the early 2000s. Behind the stage name, Bruno Nicolini writes, composes, performs and observes: domestic scenes, down-to-earth portraits, small acts of cowardice and sincere impulses, all told with a discreet humour and an eye for detail. Albums such as Bénabar, Les Risques du métier, Reprise des négociations, then Infréquentable, Les Bénéfices du doute, Inspiré de faits réels, Le Début de la suite and Indocile heureux have nourished a repertoire between clear pop, light jazz and touches of swing.

On stage, he plays with narrative. Sketchy characters, asides, dialogues that slip into the music, and a tempo that carries the story: his manner of addressing the audience transforms the concert into a series of short musical fictions. In Yerres, between familiar songs and more recent pieces, he will bring this perspective on everyday life, supported by a tight-knit band and arrangements that give the lyrics room to breathe. An evening where song becomes story, chronicle and miniature theatre, without unnecessary effects.
